Learning Jazz Drums

By Kevin | April 29, 2008

Did you know that having the ability to play jazz will improve you in every style whether it be Rock, Fusion or Funk styles?

For this reason I’ve worked a lot on my jazz drumming over the years. I’ve found that the independence and comping skills are particularly helpful in improving my overall drumming.

I recently got a new DVD set from Mike Michalkow called the Jazz Drumming System - and it is the most complete Jazz drumming book I’ve ever seen!

It contains so much material that I think I’ll be practicing for weeks just to get through it all! It has over 650 Jazz Drumming exercises to build up your independence between the hands.

On the DVD Mike even goes through how to tune your drums and pick the right cymbals to sound right for Jazz, something I found really helpful.

It also goes through indepth the Jazz Cymbal Patterns, the Shuffle styles and how to apply them correctly, whether you are playing in a Big Band or a Small Jazz Combo.
